This makeshift market was not far from Ning Cheng's residence, as such Ning Cheng listened to Yin Kongchan's simple introduction on the road. Although he had initially helped Ma Ang obtain a lot of Aquatic Essence Tendons, but Ma Ang, in addition to helping him obtain a few permanent residences and a small courtyard, had only given him 50 silver coins. The shrewdness of a businessman was undoubtedly revealed, as such no matter how much Ning Cheng asked for, he gave him that much.
Ning Cheng immediately went into seclusion in his residence to attack the Zifu Realm, and did not care about anything else. But living here, they had to spend money everywhere, not only did they have to eat, drink, dress and so on, but they also had to pay a residence tax for their own houses.
Relying on 50 silver coins was obviously not enough, Yin Kongchan and Xu Yingdei could only go to the makeshift market to look for work. Both of them were skilled people, as such they rented a stall in the makeshift market to sell embroidery, and were unexpectedly able to barely maintain themselves.
But the problem lay in this, there were already a few people doing embroidery in the makeshift market. Yin Kongchan and Xu Yingdei were very skilled, as such their things immediately squeezed out the other shops in the makeshift market, causing their business to deteriorate day by day.
No matter how strict the law was, as long as it touched their vital interests, there would always be someone who would find a way. Not to mention that Yin Kongchan and Xu Yingdei were so beautiful, there were also many people who coveted them.
After a month of stability, someone finally came knocking on their door today. The embroidery that Yin Kongchan and Xu Yingdei sold was returned one after another, the reason being that the two of them had used inferior quality cloth, and had washed and dyed it white for embroidery. This kind of thing was not only easy to tear, but it would also turn into a mess as soon as it came into contact with the colour of water.
In the Ya Lun City's makeshift market, there were very strict regulations. Once they used inferior goods, they would also face the most severe punishment from the Legal Tribunal Office. Being driven out of the Ya Lun City was the lightest punishment, if it was serious, they would end up in jail, or even face the fate of being enslaved.
… …
Ning Cheng followed Yin Kongchan to the makeshift market, this was the first time he had come to this place after entering the Ya Lun City.
At this time, he was not in the mood to look at what was being sold in the makeshift market, as he first saw Xu Yingdei. Xu Yingdei's hair was disheveled, and there were obvious bloodstains on her face and body. There were two men holding mahogany sticks, one on each side, holding Xu Yingdei in the middle.
Ning Cheng did not even think about it, let alone speak any nonsense, as he directly pulled out his triangular edged thorn and rushed forward. He had been cultivating the Embracing Yang God Tactic for a long time, coupled with the recent loosening of his Sea of Consciousness, allowing him to slowly release his Spiritual Consciousness, allowing him to move with incomparable speed.
"Puff Puff …." Two bloody lights flashed, as the two men who were clamping down on Xu Yingdei directly fell to the ground. Their knees had already been completely shattered by Ning Cheng's triangular shaped thorns.
Xu Yingdei broke free and rushed into Ning Cheng's arms, while sobbing in a low voice. She had always been a noble disciple of a large sect. When had she ever suffered such grievances?
Xu Yingdei's warm and soft body fell into Ning Cheng's arms, Ning Cheng unexpectedly felt a sense of tranquility, it was the first time that his heartstrings had been plucked by Xu Yingdei.
Ning Cheng could feel Xu Yingdei trembling, as he gently patted Xu Yingdei's back and spoke, "Don't be afraid, no one would dare to do anything to you."
Xu Yingdei's soft voice resounded in Ning Cheng's ears, "I am not afraid, I, am very happy … …"
At this time, the onlookers in the makeshift market were looking at Ning Cheng in shock, and no one dared to speak for a while. In the makeshift market, there had never been such a ruthless person, was this person not afraid of being hanged?
"You dare to seriously injure people in the makeshift market … …" An obese man pointed at Ning Cheng in horror, while at the same time roared.
Ning Cheng pulled Xu Yingdei's hand, as he walked to the front of the obese man, and spoke in a cold voice, "Then you tell me, who are the two people that I injured? What crime did my companion commit? Why was she beaten up by these two people? "
The obese man immediately sobered up from the most frightened moment, as he pointed at Ning Cheng and spoke, "The two of them interfered with the makeshift market, selling fake goods, as such their crimes are punishable by beheading and enslaving."
Saying that, the obese man pointed to the two men on the ground, whose knees had been crushed by Ning Cheng, and spoke, "They had just bought fake goods, and had come to return them, yet you dared to seriously injure the two of them. You really have a big dog's courage, you will be hanged, hanged … … "
The obese man's words had not yet finished, when Ning Cheng suddenly stepped forward and slapped him a few times, while at the same time brandished his triangular edged thorn once again.
The harsh sound of bones breaking resounded once again, as the obese man's knees were once again crushed by Ning Cheng, causing him to fall to the ground.
Ning Cheng raised his triangular edged thorn, as he squatted down and spoke to the obese man, "Not only will I seriously injure you, but I will also kill a few of you, do you believe it or not?"
"You, you … …" The obese man at this time was so frightened that he could not even speak a single word, he did not think that someone would dare to be so unscrupulous in the makeshift market.
Ning Cheng held the triangular edged thorn in his hand and walked towards the two men who were seriously injured by him. The two men were so frightened that they could not even speak a complete sentence.
"Stop … …" Along with this voice, a few people dressed as sergeants came over, along with a man wearing an official's hat, apparently the leader of this group of people.
"Ning Cheng, what should we do? These are the people from the Legal Tribunal Office. "Yin Kongchan arrived at Ning Cheng's side, and asked in a low voice. Her tone was calm, without much anxiety.
The man wearing the official's hat on seeing the bloodstains on the ground, as well as the three people kneeling on the ground, immediately flew into a rage, "Who dares to be so bold, to actually start a fight in the makeshift market, is this completely lawless?"
The obese man on seeing the guy wearing the official's hat coming over, immediately wailed like a pig being slaughtered, "Senior Sen, if you had not come, then we would have already been killed by this lawless person, this Senior must uphold justice for the law-abiding commoners … …"
Some of the people who were obviously on the side of the obese man, immediately started shouting and cheering from the crowd, demanding that the murderer be severely punished, and to bring peace to the makeshift market.
The man wearing the official's hat revealed a trace of killing intent in his eyes, as he stared at Ning Cheng and gave a snort before speaking, "Your courage is not small, come, bring them back to the Legal Tribunal Office, and after the trial, put them into the slave market. These two women, also bring them back, and first lock them up in the prison … … "
Several people dressed as sergeants were about to step forward, but Ning Cheng also shouted out loudly, "Stop for me."
The few sergeants who wanted to capture Ning Cheng, were unexpectedly frightened by Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng inserted the tri edged thorn into his leg bindings, and took a few steps forward. The man surnamed Sen wearing the official's hat on seeing Ning Cheng step forward, quickly took a few steps back, and was just about to order his people to go up and tie up Ning Cheng, when Ning Cheng suddenly stared at him and spoke with a sneer, "Senior, my courage is not small, but your courage is even bigger. Now that you have captured me, I am afraid that the next moment you will also have to go to the slave market, right? "
"You are talking nonsense, I am a dignified official of the Legal Tribunal Office, punishing a criminal like you who destroys the market … …"
This man surnamed Sen had not finished, when Ning Cheng interrupted him, "Senior Sen, there are a lot of people here watching, what kind of law are you using to capture a person with meritorious services like me? What kind of means are you using to trample on the sacred laws of the Ya Lun City? I am a person who knows the law and abides by it. "
As Ning Cheng spoke, he raised his hand and cupped his fists towards the direction of the City Master's Mansion.
"You …." This man surnamed Sen was almost unable to speak due to anger from Ning Cheng, but he quickly reacted, and spoke with a sneer, "You destroyed the makeshift market, openly committed murder in the makeshift market, and yet you are still a person with meritorious services? If it were not for me, then I am afraid that you would have already taken a few lives in your hands, right? According to the Ya Lun City's Five Laws Article 971, if you commit murder in the makeshift market, then you will directly become a slave. If there is any resistance, then you can directly kill them. Hehe, it looks like you want me to directly kill you! "
Ning Cheng spoke with disdain, "Senior Sen, these three people are pretending to be officials of the Legal Tribunal Office, beating my companions, and bullying the market, if I kill them then it would be considered as a meritorious service. According to the Ya Lun City's Two Laws Article 618, anyone who pretends to be an official of the Ya Lun City, can be killed by anyone, and would also be recorded as a meritorious service. Senior Sen, you want to help these criminals pretending to be officials of the Ya Lun City, are you trying to rebel? "
This Senior Sen wearing the official's hat turned pale on hearing Ning Cheng's words, he really did not know that such a thing would happen in front of him. If there was a conflict between the Two Laws and the Five Laws, then the Two Laws would absolutely prevail.
At this time, the obese man immediately cried out like a pig being slaughtered, "We did not pretend to be officials, he made up the facts."
Senior Sen thought that this was the right thing to do, who would dare to pretend to be an official in the Ya Lun City? Unless they did not want to die cleanly enough. Once his fear disappeared, his tone immediately turned stern, "Falsely accusing others of pretending to be officials, it is a more serious crime than what you have just committed … …"
Ning Cheng interrupted Senior Sen's words without any trace of politeness, as he stared at the obese man and coldly asked, "Let me ask you, what crime did my companion commit, that you want to beat her?"
"She sold shoddy goods, interfered with the makeshift market, and even sold fake goods, it is entirely possible for her to become a slave … …" The obese man screamed.
Ning Cheng's tone turned even colder, "Did you investigate? Or is it just speculation? Or did you just listen to one side of the story? "
"I did not investigate, these are all obvious things, the other people have already returned the goods." The obese man still argued.
The man surnamed Sen wearing the official hat already felt that something was wrong, but not waiting for him to speak, Ning Cheng spoke up in a cold voice, "Even if the Legal Tribunal Office wants to punish a person, they must first investigate before they can convict him. You have not even investigated, yet you have already convicted him, moreover you even injured my companion. Let me ask you, what qualifications do you have to convict people? If this is not called pretending to be an official, then what is called pretending to be an official? Let me ask you again, what qualifications do you have to beat up my companion in the market? Is it because you know Senior Sen? "
As Ning Cheng spoke till here, he deliberately looked at Senior Sen and gave a smile, "My Ya Lun City's laws are fair and just, before anyone is convicted, they are all good people who abide by the law. Senior Sen, even if this person knows you, you cannot trample on the fair and just laws of my Ya Lun City. "
Ning Cheng's tone turned impassioned as he spoke, causing some of the onlookers to applaud after listening to him.
Senior Sen's face turned pale, the obese man had already forgotten the pain in his knees, as he spoke while sweating profusely, "You also beat up people in the makeshift market, moreover you even seriously injured us."
Ning Cheng stepped forward, and patted the fat face of the obese man a few times, "Idiot, I am doing a meritorious deed, do you understand? You are pretending to be people from the Legal Tribunal Office, how can I tolerate such a thing happening? "
Saying that, Ning Cheng once again looked back at the ugly expression on the face of the man wearing the official hat and spoke, "Senior Sen, you are a senior from the Legal Tribunal Office, but after coming here, you unexpectedly did not investigate anything, and instead wanted to catch a hero who had performed meritorious deeds. According to the Ya Lun City's Law, Article 431, I do not know what this senior should do? "
The man surnamed Sen's forehead oozed cold sweat, he really could not figure out why Ning Cheng was so proficient in the laws of the Ya Lun City.
